Training of Both Sides (1)

As Eliada said that, all of them coherently agreed. Then Mark spoke out loud, "Then when shall we start?", as Eliada heard that, she smiled as she said, " Right now!"

She then sent out a punch towards Mark and Mark was quite shocked at this and barely dodged it. Eliada was happy when she saw Mark being able to dodge her attack as she said, "Yay! Mark is actually getting his power back!"

At that time Mark was confused as he asked, "Back?", Eliada then, who heard this furrowed her brows as she said lightly, "You still don't remember? Someone must be using a technique to seal it. I guess it's not the right time."

Eliada then clicked her fingers as she lightly muttered, "Meremos." It made her eyes glow as shining light covered all of them and their minds were completely wiped clean. "Forget that we ever talked about your memories", Eliada then said lightly.

Then the shining light completely dimmed down as Mark and his group was dazed for a second as Mark asked, "What happened?", Eliada just smiled as she said, "We were training and you just paused there."

Nora, who heard the term, 'training', she then asked, "No training here! You're gonna break everything! I have a room for training, and it could probably withstand your blows."

Nora then led the group towards the secret chamber once again. Inside they saw the people holding each other and trembling. Mark looked at them and pitied as he thought, 'They're only normal humans, yet... They're experiencing something, normal humans shouldn't experience.'

He then saw one particular old couple holding each other as they started at a small photo while they were crying in pain as they were recollecting something of their past. They had sentimental feelings flowing down. Mark thought that they were probably thinking about their children.

'Why did this have to happen', Mark thought as he recollected about the normal world where people were happily walking down the sidewalks as cars drive through, couples getting married, families bonding with each other at the beach, students going to school and having relationships set, at this time, it was all gone. None was left.

Nora then flicked something that looked like a light switch? And pressed down another part of the wall, again. A door then opened and inside was a staircase leading down towards a bank vault door?

Mark and the others had word expressions on their faces and Nora who noticed this just laughed as she pressed a couple of buttons and twisted the handle of the bank vault door. It then created a sound of metal clinking and metals getting detached and attached to each other.

After a series of metal clicks, the door then, as if being pulled by someone, opened. It wasn't pulled, it just opened on its own like a ghost. They then went inside as Nora said, "This is a specialized training room, soundproof, blast-proof, and almost unbreakable. Even a thousand missiles launched simultaneously can't scratch it, heck break it open."

Mark this time couldn't help but make a weird expression as he asked, "How rich are you?", Nora then laughed loudly, " Really, really rich! Now, shall we start your training folks!"

Nora then clapped her hands three times causing the door to close. A stage then suddenly elevated in the middle as if it was some kind of arena. All of them then stood at the stage and stretched at first.

"Mark! Let's start!", Eliada said as she cracked her knuckles and was about to send out a punch at Mark, but then Nora shouted loudly, " Mark! Get out of that spot now!"

Mark didn't quite understand why Nora suddenly shouted but, he just follows her commands and moved out of the way. At that time, some sort of liquid fell from the roof and it melted the so it landed on!?

Mark and Eliada, including the others, were shocked, especially the first two mentioned. Mark and Eliada didn't notice anything different even when Nora shouted.

Eliada then looked at Nora with a quite baffled expression as she asked, "Nora, how did you know that?", Nora then scratched her forehead as she said panicky, " Hehe, I forgot about that acid up top!"

Eliada then looked at her with a quite solemn expression as she firmly held it as she asked, "Nora, do not lie, I didn't notice that presence at all, yet you knew about it."

Nora them flinched as she said again with panic clearly straining her voice, "M-maybe it's a c-coincidence?", Eliada then looked at her weirdly as she said, " Now it doesn't even make sense anymore."

Mark then looked at Nora as he said, "Nora, can you please tell the truth, we are comrades right now, so we have to tell each other our secrets." After twitching uncomfortably, Nora then sighed as she said, "I can see a little scene of what will happen in the future."

As they heard that, they were no less, shocked. They couldn't believe it. Predicting the future is like the epitome of the rarest ability. Seeing their shock, Nora then continued, "Too unbelieving right? But I can see a little bit of the future. And it fact, I can see a glimpse of the future right now, I know you probably can't trust me. It's like only one day since we've met and—"

Hearing that, they were dumbfounded. Mark then smiled as he said, "Even if we only know each other for a day, you seem to be a good person. And in that, I can trust you."

"Y-you can't trust a person that easily! That'll lead you to your death!", Nora said loudly and Mark refuted, " I can discern if people are truly good or not, and at that, I can put my trust on you wholeheartedly." (A/N: That's right kids! Don't trust anyone in the apocalypse unless you're this guy!)

"T-thank you", Nora quietly said. She then thought in her mind, 'He's a nice guy, I should put my trust on him too', as she grinned widely that was quite charming and leading to the eyes. She then said, "Alright! No more dilly-dallying! Time for the training!"

She then sent out a punch towards Mark who was on guard and unexpectedly thrown him a couple of feet. This shocked both Eliada and Mark. Mark couldn't help but grin as he said, "You're quite strong aren't you, Nora!"

They then collided their first more and more until they collapsed due to exhaustion. The others who were just watching was sweating so much that they look like they ran from America to America. (A/N: one word, yes.)

They were completely exhausted, both Mark and Nora. They then forced themselves to sat down and jugged some water as they clenched their fists and fist pumped each other. Mark and Nora then said simultaneously with one eye closed and sweat in every part of their body, "Nice."

Mark then looked at the others as he said, "What?.....yo..ou...'re....ha... Not gonna..... Train?", this woke them up from their sweaty gazes as they looked at each other simultaneously said, "Your fight was so awesome we lost all our strength!"

Mark then smiled as he looked at Eliada, "How bout you start their training?", Eliada who heard that, couldn't help but grin evilly, causing goosebumps to appear all over the bodies of the others as she said, "Prepare yourselves! I'm gonna train you until you can't even stand!"

Eliada then forced them all up, no, not by pulling them, but she stomped on the ground causing the ground to shake violently and for a split second, gravity was not a thing. She then smiled widely, "Let's go!"

The others then said with a scared smile, "Umm, Eliada, you look like a demon right now!", Eliada paid no heed as he launched himself towards them and the others then shouted, " Run!"
